The Diamond is a ship, me lads
For the Davis Strait she's bound
And the quay it is all garnished
With bonnie lasses 'round
Captain Thompson gives the order
To sail the ocean wide
Where the sun it never sets, me lads
Nor darkness dims the sky
And it's cheer up me lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond
Goes a-fishing for the whale
Along the quay's of Peterhead
The lasses stand around
Their shawls are all pulled 'round them
And the salt tears running down
Now don't you weep, my bonnie lass
Though you be left behind
For the rose will bloom on Greenland's ice
Before we change our mind
And it's cheer up me lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond
Goes a-fishing for the whale
Here's a health to the resolution
Likewise the Eliza Swan
Here's a health to the Battler of Montrose
And the Diamond, ship of fame
We wear the trousers of the white
The jackets of the blue
When we return to Peterhead
We'll have sweethearts anew
And it's cheer up mm lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond
Goes a-fishing for the whale
Oh It'll be bright both day and night
When the whaling lads come hame
In a ship that's full of oil, me boys
And money to our name
We'll make the cradles all to rock
And the blankets for to tear
And every lass in Peterhead sing
"Hushabye, me dear"
For it's cheer up my lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond
Goes a-fishing for the whale
And it's cheer up my lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond
Goes a-fishing for the whale
For the Davis Strait she's bound
And the quay it is all garnished
With bonnie lasses 'round
Captain Thompson gives the order
To sail the ocean wide
Where the sun it never sets, me lads
Nor darkness dims the sky
And it's cheer up me lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond
Goes a-fishing for the whale
Along the quay's of Peterhead
The lasses stand around
Their shawls are all pulled 'round them
And the salt tears running down
Now don't you weep, my bonnie lass
Though you be left behind
For the rose will bloom on Greenland's ice
Before we change our mind
And it's cheer up me lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond
Goes a-fishing for the whale
Here's a health to the resolution
Likewise the Eliza Swan
Here's a health to the Battler of Montrose
And the Diamond, ship of fame
We wear the trousers of the white
The jackets of the blue
When we return to Peterhead
We'll have sweethearts anew
And it's cheer up mm lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond
Goes a-fishing for the whale
Oh It'll be bright both day and night
When the whaling lads come hame
In a ship that's full of oil, me boys
And money to our name
We'll make the cradles all to rock
And the blankets for to tear
And every lass in Peterhead sing
"Hushabye, me dear"
For it's cheer up my lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond
Goes a-fishing for the whale
And it's cheer up my lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond
Goes a-fishing for the whale
